@mashrujeet @passportsevamea @rpobengaluru This was done. They didn’t agree and didn’t give me any explanation.

Why can a single mother not be able to renew her daughter’s passport without a father’s consent who is not providing for her?

@rpobengaluru the letter asks to get a court order and fathers approval. My question is why? What are the rules? Annexure C on your own website states that I only need to submit my court petition. Attaching a copy of that. Please help me!

@SimonePious @passportsevamea You may respond with the requirements mentioned in the objection letter issued by this office.

@aggarwalvarun @passportsevamea Annexure C, e point says I need to submit my petition, which I have done. There’s no court order prohibiting my travel.

[Simone Pious @SimonePious]

@aggarwalvarun @passportsevamea They’ve sent me this email. I really want to know if there’s a rule.

@rpobengaluru @passportsevamea I just received this letter from your office. Again without explaination as to why am I to get permission from court again which is a very lengthy process and again will involve hiring a lawyer when I am the sole guardian of my child since the last six years? @rpobengaluru

@mashrujeet @passportsevamea Applied at the Passport office in Lalbaug, Bengaluru and they assigned me to the Regional Passport Office in Koramangala. They refused to process it without the father’s consent, although I carried all documents as per the rules for single parents undergoing a divorce.

There were four other single mothers with me who weren’t allowed to apply for their children’s passport with no proper clarification. Just no! @BDUTT @fayedsouza @bainjal @nehadixit123 @News_Minute @citizenmatters @the_hindu

@aggarwalvarun @passportsevamea I respectfully request clarification and assistance.

I submitted the required declarations and repeatedly asked for the rule that makes the father's consent mandatory in my case. No official could provide one.

[Simone Pious @SimonePious]

As the sole breadwinner, my work may require international travel. If my daughter's passport cannot be renewed, I am effectively being forced to choose between career opportunities that support our livelihood and staying with my child. @DrSJaishankar @NCWIndia @DKShivakumar

@passportsevamea Can an estranged parent simply refuse consent and prevent a child from obtaining a passport despite there being no court order against travel?

I respectfully request clarification and assistance. @passportsevamea

[Simone Pious @SimonePious]

@passportsevamea Yet Passport Seva officials refused to process her passport renewal unless I produced a letter of permission from her father, who is unwilling to provide one. @passportsevamea
